I heard that cabbbage helps dry up ur milk but b4 I go buy some does anyone know anything I could try? Or avoid?

Yea doesnt dry milk up. But very good to put in fridge and lay on your breasts when they are swollen and engorged and hurt :-) as for drying up milk it takes time naturally or doc can give u pills to dry it up.

I just had my baby 2 days ago im not breastfeeding but my breast are getting really sore swollen & hard. Do you have to heat it up? Do I just tear a piece off & put them in my bra? Will the swelling go down? Sorry I have alot of questions!!!

But I don't think it dried up I think it help cause she was swollen and in pain and it help release milk because she wasn't using it.

Yes my sister in law did it and it work. She cut them in half and I think heated them up it was 6yrs ago.

Cabbage helps when your engorged. If you want to stop lactation talk to your physician, they can prescribe something to dry up the milk.
